More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have taught swim lessons with a variety of ages of children 10 months-10 years.
I have experience working with a therapy group especially with children and teens and have received great feedback from that. I am also currently an MSW intern with A House In Austin, a community building organization for families in Austin that also works towards early childhood intervention.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Walks outside, painting, crafts, going to the park, making fun snacks

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny to me is getting to have a positive impact on children's lives and getting to be someone they can relax around. Especially when I get to bake with my kids, although I am not a great baker, they get to lead and I just do the safety precautions which are the most important and fun parts for me and the kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with A House In Austin as an early childhood educator, also part of an early childhood intervention program that makes house calls. I work with children with developmental delays under age 5.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment is getting to go back and see my old nanny family and how much the kids have grown up. I also love to be able to go back home (kansas) and reunite with my old nanny family.
